Gore frequently trumps giggles during Happy Death Day but the tantalising dramatic conceit of a distraught heroine stuck in a tragic groove provides screenwriter Scott Lobdell with a rich seam of black humour and female empowerment.

Sweet Pizza strikes me as a great class novel--it is layered, there are many issues worthy of discussion and further research (heritage, immigration, war, discrimination, families) and the oral history of Nonno is a rich seam worth mining--it's the sort of book that improves the more you share it with others.

Each one of us living here can only benefit by understanding more about the rich seam of stories and poetry in a variety of forms that emanate from the UAE; we will certainly be the richer for it," Isobel Abulhoul, CEO and Trustee of the Emirates Literature Foundation and Festival Director of the Emirates Airline Festival of Literature, said in a statement.
